Apply for the LEG Faculty Council 2025-2026!
Would you like to participate at the administrative level of the Faculty of Law, Economics and Governance? Do you wish to exert your influence on important decisions regarding education, research and business operations, and gain administrative experience?
Seize this opportunity and put yourself forward as a candidate for the Faculty Council (FR)! The FR is looking for motivated students who would like to join the debate about issues that will be the focus of our strategy in the coming years.
What does the Faculty Council do?
The FR consists of ten staff members and ten student members. The student members are elected every year. Student members receive a 0.15 FTE compensation (by way of a management participation grant); the chair and vice-chair of the student section get 0.2 FTE (also by way of a management participation grant).
As the Faculty Council, you will be advising the Faculty Board either upon their request or on the Council’s own initiative, on topics such as:
- student housing, education spaces and study spots
- internationalization of education
- use of AI in education
- the faculty’s budget
- services provided by our faculty
Who can apply?
Any student who is following his or her main programme at the Faculty of Law and Economics can apply. You can join a list of candidates from your own department, or possibly start a list yourself. It is important that you have a basic knowledge of the Dutch language (policy documents and meetings are Dutch).
How to become a candidate?
You can put yourself forward as a candidate from Tuesday 7th March to Thursday 10th April until 17:00. You can download the forms for this on the team site of the FR or request them from the board secretariat (rebo.bestuurssecretariaat@uu.nl)
The completed and signed lists of candidates, including the declarations that the candidates agree to the fact that they cannot withdraw from the elections until the results of the elections have become irrevocable, must be submitted digitally via rebo.bestuurssecretariaat@uu.nl no later than Thursday 10 April 2025 17:00 hours.
